Not ban. Regulate, like food. Have standards and enforce them.

Secondhand nicotine does you no harm. The reason cigarettes are so bad for you is that you’re smoking tar. That’s what makes the walls of a smokers home yellow, and what gives them cancer.

Nicotine is addictive, but largely harmless at the levels in cigarettes and vapes for the primary smoker. A secondhand smoker will be getting almost nothing. The problem with vapes is, I suspect, the flavourings. I’m aware of mounting evidence that they’re not harmless, but I think that’s only to primary vapers, not secondary.

I think that last point is an important one.

Banning things often does more harm than good. In your case “Nicotine Bad!” as a policy removes your options.

So regulate them and enforce it.

Oh boo hoo!

People being mildly annoying means they should be banned? Cigarettes were killing smokers and those around them. That’s the line for me. If your actions harm others, then it gets restricted.

Vapes are nowhere near that line. They just smell weird.

You know this, but nicotine isn’t the problem. It’s all the other crap in them.

Nobody is saying to you that blocking shouldn’t be available. They are saying to you that blocking large numbers of people to create a bubble is harmful to you and the wider community.

Hence blocking people who agree with a certain post is going too far. The action is too heavy handed for the “crime”. It would be a harmful feature. It’s"shooting people in the head for laughing at an edgy joke" levels of heavy handedness.

I’m not sure there is. The whole point of these anti-cheat systems is to detect running on modified setups that allow for the injection of code. An emulator is one such system.

Is 20% faster than intel a step up, generation on generation?

…because if you stop listening to other opinions you end up in a divided society that has no way of healing.

Lots of other new cars have lane keeping assist and automatic braking, BLIS, adaptive cruise control etc, and so on with more capable sensors and can for the most part drive without input from the driver better than the Tesla

Self driving is a huge step on from these things though. Hyper cruise control is easy in comparison and that’s what those features give.

Self driving means capable in all situations and all conditions. Not just highways.

If you really want to give it one last chance before leaving my advice would be to have a 1-on-1 talk with her.

Start out by saying that:

• You understand that she works in a different way to you.
• You feel more secure when your private and work lives are separate.
• You feel you are able to do your best work when you can focus on the task without distraction.

“Feel” is an important word here. You’re not trying to be confrontational. You’re trying to express your position so she can understand you and how you work better. You’re trying to show her the right way to manage you, rather than pointing out the wrong way.

Then ask a couple of questions:

• Does she want you to communicate more because she’s worried that you’re not communicating issues that she needs to be aware of in her role? If so, that’s a valid concern. Maybe organise a fixed time each week to discuss such issues so you can plan for it and come prepared.

• Does she think she can accommodate how you like to work?

I expect she values “openness” but that doesn’t need to be sharing your whole life with the people you work with. So meet her half-way, be open about what you’re working on and the problems you’re facing. She may be able to help you by resolving your dependencies on others, or getting you what you need.

It’s an issue for society.

Anti-cheat “compatibility” means allowing software kernel level access and after Crowd strike I think that tide will be turning even on Windows.

Anti-cheat will change. Not Linux IMHO.

Getting interview practise is no bad thing. Being interviewed is a skill you learn to be sure.

I think a lot of people miss that interviews in the technical world are often not smartly dressed exams. Some are, but those are probably jobs where they won’t mentor you and invest in you. They expect you to come fully developed.

Good interviewers are trying to imagine you as an every-day team member. Will you…

• …work well with others?
• …be engaged with the problem space?
• …ask for clarifications or just make assumptions to avoid appearing “dumb”?
• …let a lack of knowledge on something become a road block?

Knowledge is easy to give you. These things are much harder to teach.

Also, knowledge based questions might be designed to find your limit. So if you don’t know something, that doesn’t mean it’s pointless from that point on. The interviewer may just have pushed you to your limit, and only they know if that was good enough. Keep going, stay engaged.

I don’t know if any of that helps you design your bot, but maybe it gives you some ideas about being an interviewer.

…and let me guess. Critizing Israel’s actions is tacit support of Hezbollah?

Worse than that. Fraud. He’s scammed people out of millions.

I personally don’t think it’s a matter of more sensory input. Whilst Lidar wouldn’t be a bad thing, autonomous cars are just a problem current technology can’t solve.

…because removing somebody’s kernel maintainer priv and the industrialised genocide of people is remotely comparable.

That sounds like policy written by somebody who has no idea what the reality of software development is.

1 year to rewrite critical software in a new language?
